Jun 26, 2008
PZS accelerometers enable safe operation to be maintained in the event of two component failures in a hydrogen gas atmosphere.
Sensonics PZS accelerometers have received ATEX (EEx ia) safety certification, allowing their use in a wider range of applications.
Applications for the PZS device include motors, pumps and power turbines.
This recertification now permits use on an extended range of gas turbine sets.
PZS accelerometers enable safe operation to be maintained in the event of two component failures in a hydrogen gas atmosphere.
This performance has now been extended to include operation up to 100C with a maximum loaded capacitance rating of 47nF for Class IIC environments in a 28.5V circuit.
Applications for the PZS can now include installations with cable runs in excess of 400m in hazardous areas using industry standard cable and safety barriers.
